"Cognito Averagifier" Communal Nexus
Following the machine era calendar, on this day at three in the afternoon, the invasive "Cognito Averagifier" entered the mind of an arrogant organic individual in the Mechanical City. The "Cognito Averagifier" dealt him heartbreak. He realized that the limit of all his talents could only brush against the most average members of the community. But he did not despair, for soon he learned to master this new and unique skill, concealing his flurry of emotions from the inorganic masses, becoming the most average of all machines, and embarking on the Path of Equilibrium.

"Cognito Invalidater" Codebuilder
"When will the human race become machines? And when will machines become human?" Following the machine era calendar, on this day at three in the afternoon, the invasive "Cognito Invalidater" entered the mind of a certain organic individual in the Mechanical City. At the start, he was helpless against the uncontrolled thoughts in his own mind. Then, he realized writing notes could help him effectively counter the anxiety and meaninglessness the "Cognito Invalidater" inflicted on him. So he began to write, spewing forth words, expelling the chaotic and incoherent noises in his head that remained deafening loud despite being bereft of substance. He produced lines and lines of error code. This eventually drew the Riddlers' attention.

"Jellyfish on the Staircase"
The Riddlers have a saying: Every time that an enigma manifests in the universe, it will leave behind a "staircase" in the void. The dissolved realities will then drip down the steps, condensing into a mottled thing bearing semblance to a jellyfish. There was once a Nameless who claimed to have made contact with a "Jellyfish on the Staircase." In madness, he proclaimed that the jellyfish will activate the cognition regions within the gray matter of one's brain — a vast place beyond the fathoming of mortal minds.

"Organic Heart"
Mechanical lifeforms also have stereotypes for organics. For example, take this heart merged with an apple - or an apple merged with a heart. Unfortunately, the nature of this question will remain forever inconclusive. Its creator, Dr. Olsen, was accused of being "too cognizant of the organic world" and was "resolved" by the Machine Empire during the war. Undoubtably, only an organic lifeform could have proven its innocence.

"Revelrous" Rainbowmaker
Following the machine era calendar, on this day at six in the morning, the invasive "Revelrous" entered the mind of a mono-horned beast in the Mechanical City. Only paltry few unmodified animals remained in the city. Hence, fueled by the "Revelrous" contagion, the mono-horned beast was able to overcome all manner of despairing defeats, awkward incidents, and crippling moments of dread. Sadness became joy for it, pain became pleasure, and pressure became a trigger for secreting excitatory neurotransmitters — Until one day it realized it had taught itself how to convert "mood" into a freely adjustable parameter. Thereafter, its confidence was perpetually high and unshakable, turning it into a "Rainbow-Radiant Unicorn."

"Wildminder" Machine Cell
"I've seen Emperor Rubert!" Following the machine era calendar, on this day at nine in the evening, the invasive "Wildminder" entered the thoughts of a certain brain-in-a-jar in the Machine City. It was unable to distinguish whether itself was organic, inorganic, or just a gaseous lifeform. It claimed to have met the emperor, only to break away from the "Wildminder" in its head — The thought slammed the limits of its brain, overloading its thoughts to the point of exhaustion. But after Rubert fixed a single line of unmarkable code, it awakened from this haze, coming to realize that none of this had happened, that it had only been another illusion.

A Pinch of Bearded Gunpowder
Compared to currencies of stone, wood, gold, or supernium metals, the nomadic miners are more obsessed with the excavation of Aether. There was a period when they were infatuated with the sensation of digging vast quantities of Aether using their bare hands while in the mines, but these experiences brought calamity upon them. Several large-stature miners finally met their ends via exploding gunpowder in unknown areas, while only a short and small miner managed to survive. Its beard henceforth always flickered with a pinch of flame.

A Ranger's Home
The Rangers of Deepspace Hunter made it a habit to save their last bullet for themselves, for their prey were the remnants of the Propagation and the Voracity, and the price of failure was far heavier than death itself. During the encirclement on Lidovia, the Rangers planned to trap a behemoth with ship anchors, then chisel away its flesh and destroy its organs like miners, killing it slowly. However, when their leader Triton's ship was swallowed whole by the beast, the fleet was forced to rout. Three days later, the behemoth suddenly dropped dead. The Rangers dug through the wreckage, only to find its viscera had been completely hollowed out, with Triton's corpse lying within the desiccated heart chamber. His last bullet still hung from his necklace, shining brightly.

A-Ruan Pouch
The Genius Society is awash with legendary figures, and so there are always people who wish to rank the creations of each genius. Ruan Mei's pouch stands at the forefront of such creations. It is said that she wished to carry the universe in her pocket, yet was forced to seal it when the dimensionality within continued to expand. The A-Ruan Pouch spent the remainder of its time in a display window. Stephen Lloyd once viewed it as his important companion for some reason — he never revealed to anyone how he contemplated hiding within the pouch to avoid his family.

Absolute Failure Prescription
Warfare is the plague of civilization. It erases lives, destroys history, and makes the world return to naught. The Doctors of Chaos mix the saliva of Inquisition Spirits with hair from Xenohydros, then offer a drop of their own blood. The potions made in this manner would interfere with the combat officers' decision-making, causing both sides to avoid all effective tactics, removing the possibility of armed conflict from its root. Will wars end because of this? The Doctors of Chaos believe that the plague will eventually be cured as long as people keep taking their medicine.

Absolute Self-Destruction Paste
When even the most advanced technologies fail to cure a patient's illness, infecting them with Nihility might be the last resort. The Doctors of Chaos collect seeds of self-destruction, blending them with the interrogative essence of Inquisition Spirits and the venom of hidden-winged terror birds, sealing them into vessels to craft the "Absolute Self-Destruction Paste." The voids from Nihility will bore into the body, erode diseased tissues, and grant the patient a fleeting respite. However, this form of existence may simply represent a different kind of suffering for the afflicted.

Absolute Sound Quality
The Vannesians are renowned for their extraordinary musical talent, having been ranked among the top five most musically-gifted species in the universe. They communicate through beautiful chords and rejected the invitation from the Harmony Family, solely to pursue the pure beauty of rhythm. However, after receiving the Abundance's blessing, this pursuit began to turn pathological. For instance, in their pursuit of flawless vocal reproduction, the Vannesians used biotechnology to create these biological headsets with living mouths integrated into the earpads, which perform the audio directly, eliminating any timbral distortion.

Adaptive Gift Box
If you encounter a Fool distributing gifts on the street, approach with caution. Across the cosmos, this seemingly simple gift box has driven more than a thousand compulsive individuals to the edge of a nervous breakdown. Regardless of where you attempt to place it, the box consistently requires just a bit more space than is available. With a knack for humor, the Fool also gives you a second gift box, perfectly sized to contain the first. But this leads to a new conundrum. Where should you put the second box?

Ambergris Cheese
Once upon a time, a helper robot turned Ambergris of Abundance into cheese on a whim to satisfy its little master's seemingly never-ending appetite. Unexpectedly, the Ambergris Cheese started to multiply on its own. The helper robot and the master worked at full speed, but their digestion still could not keep up with how fast the cheese was multiplying. Therefore, they had to ask for help from a group of passing Mourning Actors and escaped to another world on a gondola. That one world in the cosmos is still stuffed full of delicious cheese to the day, packed so tight that not a single centimeter of space is left. The story teaches an important lesson about not wasting food.

Ancient Communications
Before the creation of ultraremote sensing, pheromone communication among the Swarm was considered the most effective form of communication in the universe. During the Swarm Disaster, a group of bounty hunters that pursued worker bugs captured lone Afterglow Stings and modified them into frontline communications devices. With varying levels of stimulation, pheromone sensors that ignore distance would cause the insect to change color in real time and allow for simple information exchange. With this secret code, the bounty hunters became more and more courageous on the battlefield, until they came face-to-face with the Afterglow Swarm King attracted by the pheromones.

Angel-type I.O.U. Dispenser
A debt dispenser distributed by the Business Consolidation Department of the Interastral Peace Corporation. Once the outer shell is opened, it will condense into an angel-shaped counter through electron particle-wave projection. The IPC simultaneously produced many types of this item, including ones that can be worn on the wrist or in the shape of hug pillows that act as sleep aids. When using it, the client needs to periodically feed it Gold Coins, and will receive returns many times higher than the principal at the end of the debt cycle. In essence, it is an investment product.

Anti-Inorganic Virus
At the height of the Second Emperor's War, the Evolutionists aimed to take out Rubert II with a bio-weapon: a synthetic virus designed to target inorganic life and fry their central processors while sparing allies. The IPC fleet deployed the virus across 27 suspected hideouts, but every attempt failed. Project leader Dr. Rama, terrified of a retaliatory bio-strike, spent the rest of his life obsessing over virus prevention. His research never changed the war's tide. To Rubert II, the star-shattering beams fired by Killing Machines remained the ultimate Anti-Organic Virus.

Antimatter Engine Controller
During the early attempts to replicate the Astral Express, the Technology Department struggled to solve the engine's power issue. The Intelligentsia Guild proposed using antimatter to replace the power of Trailblaze, with this controller serving as a matching component. The original design concept was simple: just like adjusting the hot and cold water ratio in a shower head, one could control the Express's speed by cleverly adjusting the injection rate of matter and antimatter with a wrench. However, prototype testing always ended in annihilating explosions. After all, getting the water temperature right was never an easy task.

Arena of the Strong
The outside world often sees the Kremnoans as nothing more than a band of war-hardened brutes. In truth, they indulge in a variety of recreational activities during peacetime, none more iconic than Steelfeather Ball. This sport requires players to hurl heavy metal balls with great force, earning points by striking critical areas of their opponents. While beginners frequently suffer from severe fractures, those who endure thousands of hits during training develop bodies tougher than steel. The Kremnoans once attempted to introduce this sport to their occupied territories, but it was ultimately abandoned due to an unacceptably high fatality rate.

Armed Archaeological Shovel
Armed Archaeologists are truly the oddballs of the Intelligentsia Guild. Many scholars in this faction are obsessed with combining weaponry and excavation tools, just so they can come in handy at critical moments. 15 Amber Eras ago, an archaeological team from the Sandridge-III Observation Station landed on a planet's surface, intending to study the remains of a Swarm King stranded there. However, a swarm of True Stings buried deep underground suddenly revived during the sampling process. The team suffered heavy casualties, leaving only their leader, Slay, alive. He held out alone on the planet for 5 years, continuing the excavation while fighting off the incoming Swarm with his armed archaeological shovel. Yet, when the IPC fleet arrived for the rescue, Slay resisted violently, eventually choosing to end his own life due to the "unshakable buzzing" in his head.

Asat Pramad's Dice (Head)
Due to his bizarre aesthetics of destruction, Asat Pramad has garnered quite a following in the cosmos. After an acceptable amount of staff casualties, the nosy daredevils from Interastral Peace Entertainment managed to snap photos of this Lord Ravager and produced a set of fan merchandise based on his image. However, due to some as-yet-unknown principle, this die always lands on the same number. The Intelligentsia Guild speculates that this is because randomness, or chaos, is an essential component of Elation. "If a die knew its result before being cast, wouldn't that take all the fun out of it?"

Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust
People's opinions regarding Doctor Kray have always been heavily mixed. As a renowned plant botanist, the nutrient sustenance solution it developed saved over 20 different star systems from famine and starvation during the Borderstar Trade War. However, the secondary effects of excessive consumption caused diseases from hundreds of plant species to jump the species barrier and indirectly led to widespread infections after the war. On the 100th Amber Era since the withering of Dr. Kray, the Intelligentsia Guild issued a set of commemorative stamps of it, which featured simply the words: "Just a sentient plant."

Automated Experience
Growing weary of the daily monotony of memory cremation work, Cremator Rama created the memoria bugs. These minuscule memoria creatures could consume memoria to multiply and clone themselves. Within a system day, they transformed the trade planet Uro completely, turning it into what was known to all as the "lost world." While the Garden of Recollection managed to exterminate most of the memoria bugs in time, the escaped clusters became a biological catastrophe rivaling the vicious silicone-eating bacteria. As for Cremator Rama, before he was devoured down to his marrow, he finally experienced the automated engineering that he longed for.

Automaton of Truth
To counter the reckless distortions of history by History Fictionologists, the usually reserved Candelagraphos decided to take proactive measures. The Scholars of Candles engineered an Automaton of Truth, designed to unveil the truth and obliterate all fictional constructs. True to its purpose, the Automaton of Truth admirably completed its first task — it self-destructed. After all, the automaton itself was a fictional creation.

Beacon Coloring Paste
The bright, visually stimulating colors of the Beacon Coloring Paste allow the Galactic Rescue Team to easily spot signs written with it. It was invented by a Nameless who possessed great artistic abilities. This Nameless once experienced a flight incident and was trapped in a barren and desolate star system. In the end, with the use of scraps from a white dwarf star fragment, he was able to produce the most magnificent item in the history of search and rescue — the Beacon Coloring Paste.

Benediction Shard: Death
The Titans have all either fallen silent or demised, but their benedictions remain in this world. The calls and bellows of the past were sealed into crystals and will bring some meager hope to those who will come after them. But if such benedictions exist independently of the Titans, then what came first — Titans or divine authority? The Grove had once conducted a spectacular debate on this topic, but could not reach an answer before the participants' rage overwhelmed their reason.

Black Forest Cuckoo Clock
After the end of the Second Machine Crisis, many robots became very anxious and were sensitive to any possible conflict. A rumor claiming that mechanical lifeforms will bring about the final disaster immediately drew the attention of all robots, and they formed an expedition team to scout unexplored lands three times. They reached the island at the southernmost tip of the land and dragged out the rumor's creator from a forest enveloped in utter darkness — A master artisan who hid in the mountains to study evil technology.

Black Hole Sugar Maker
Genius Society #3 Nyul Iman once recreated a black hole in her laboratory, and people speculated she was seeking the essence of Nihility. Three weeks later, she modified the Synthetic Black Hole into a cotton candy machine that automatically dispensed sweets to passing children, which led onlookers to suspect her true study was Voracity. The Fools offered a simpler hypothesis: perhaps she was just curious about what a black hole might taste like. In the end, she made far too much for one person to ever eat alone.

Black Hole Trap
The places where the space-time curvature are most extreme are suspected to be locations cast in the vast shadow of the Aeon of Nihility. However, as THEIR presence is shrouded in mist and mystery, there have been many a scholar who thought they have received revelations from the Aeon, causing them to leave all behind to seek Nihility's gloom without giving thought or concern to their own safety. In the end, none of them ever returned. It is a common belief among mainstream academic circles that this is a trap intentionally set by hidden powers, but according to survey data, there truly seems to be some kind of unknown energy flowing through these parts for reasons unfathomed.

Bountiful Rolling Stone
Every planting season, the disciples of Georios repeatedly push the Bountiful Rolling Stone up a hill, then let it thunderously roll down, crushing over the fields to be cultivated. This isn't just a fitness exercise. The rolling stone not only scatters fertile seeds but also enriches the soil with nutrients. However, never disturb them during their work. Mischievous children who chased after the stone ended up crushed as if they were part of the field. Though the children survived, their hair turned to wheat.

Broken Cuckoo Clock
A cuckoo clock craftmaster once encountered Terminus. The clock in her hand fell to the ground in her surprise, becoming shattered and broken in Terminus' past. The craftmaster later joined the Omen Vanguards, trying to use cuckoo clocks to interpret Terminus' prophecy. Although she went on to create countless more clocks in her life, she always treasured this broken cuckoo clock. She had already met Terminus when it broke. Terminus had yet to meet her when it broke.

Bud in the Wind
The sail floats alone under the caress of the cosmic wind. This mechanical web laid out in space was originally the core component of Wen-II's giant generator. It captures the charged particle beams breathed out by stars and converts them to energy that is then transported to the planet. However, everything ended the moment the Lord Ravager Zephyro arrived. What followed was the fire of a supernova exploding. When the light faded and the Legion left, only a single broken flower showed that history once existed among the now-empty dust plains.

By Any Means Necessary
As one of the powerful adversaries to fictional entities, genetic analysis by geneticists has long served as a final gambit against falsified fossils. However, it is clear to see that History Fictionologists have come up with a way to counter this. By taking genetic sequences as vessels for stories they wish to compose, they dedicate themselves with greater determination than any scholar and compile perfect molecular evolution trees, bringing the current species system into complete disarray. Bananas become amphibians and Wubbaboos were classified into birds. Unreliable data already illustrate that with more and more fossils becoming tainted with the scent of Enigmata, the influence of the History Fictionologist within biological fields is increasing exponentially.

Carnival's Tail
Blessed by Phagousa, the Carnival's Tail allows humans to temporarily conquer the ocean's waves. These insatiable machines continuously demand tribute, consuming honey brew and propelling wooden ships across the seas. Legend has it that Corinthus once toasted with a machine aboard, claiming to drink with Phagousa. The fine offering left the Carnival's Tail too intoxicated to control itself, crashing deep into the ocean. Days later, the hero and the ship's wreckage were disdainfully thrown ashore by Phagousa's Kin.

Casket of Inaccuracy
Each side of this casket can be opened. The spaces that should be overlapping are not overlapped. Due to this unique characteristic, no one can be sure of what will happen when the box is opened. Therefore, it is not recommended to store anything in it.

Cavity System Model
Herta once collected a model for the sake of a faraway story she heard. The federal government of the Cavity System always found themselves irregularly hard-pressed by a storm of invading inflatable candies. Thus, their financial affairs department were forced to spend uncountable credits to resolve the damages inflicted upon their corroded soil each natural year. Once, there was a Nameless that passed by this planet, and they sought to suss out its shape, and after several months of exploration, they cried out in shock: "The universe is irregularly shaped, just like a tooth!"

Celesticomet Alloy
Under the colossal hammer of the Preservation, celestial bodies are processed into indestructible foundations, while the residue splattered by its immense force quickly cools, forming precious Celesticomet Alloy. These tiny shards, ejected when Qlipoth struck the Celestial Comet Wall, heralded the arrival of a new Amber Era from the moment they were created. Almost all Celesticomet Alloys are meticulously preserved by the Interastral Peace Corporation, with only employees ranked P45 and above having the opportunity to catch a glimpse of their true form.

Chance Jailbreak
Some Architects have come to an alternative interpretation about the sound of the Amber Lord's hammering sounds: THEIR greatness lies not in THEIR ability to build defenses for the universe, but in creating prisons for those outside the walls. Following this logic, restlessly constructing the foundation of walls on the surface of every planet is counter-productive, and the true calling of an Architect is to seal any potential disasters within high walls for protection preemptively. The awkward thing is that no monsters are foolish enough to simply stand in place and wait for a cage to be constructed. To this day, only two bloodthirsty behemoths have been sealed in gigantic amber prisons.

Contemplation Disc
Under the gentle caress of the Chrysalis of Gold, even the stoniest of hearts can grasp the essence of love. Butterflies etched melodies onto the stone disc as a testament to the beauty and art of the world — from majestic choral performances and solitary bardic verses to the distant calls of birds from the wilderness. In the praise song of the devout, the Contemplation Disc meticulously recreates every note, making it an elegant tool for showcasing personal taste at social gatherings in Okhema. However, remember not to switch someone else's music casually, as this could provoke the wrath of Mnestia.

Converse of Entropy
You can see the ruins of the Zimander Federation on any astral chart, but even the most foolish of navigators would advise you to stay far away from that disorderly land. This collective civilization that worshiped the principle of the decrease of entropy utilized their extremely streamlined lifestyles in order to reduce the rate of their own entropy increase. They harnessed the power of their star system and created an entropy-destroying machine, so as to challenge the laws of the Supreme Destroyer. In actual fact, they were half successful — their machine endlessly converted entropy into anti-entropy. However, as a cost, the operation of the machine itself caused greater entropy. In just one spin, the machine caused everything within four light years to decay and wither.

Cosmic Big Lotto
The marketing tactics for the Cosmic Big Lotto, sold by the Interastral Peace Corporation's Marketing Development Department, is as passionate and hot-blooded as Oswaldo Schneider himself. You just need one galactic currency to bet on your luck and become a trader in the experience of making dreams, where everyone has a chance to become a cosmic tycoon and join the business structure. Under Oswaldo Schneider's marketing strategy, few new worlds are able to resist such temptations — They eagerly join the Interastral Peace Corporation's universal business structure to win an entry ticket, obtaining the right to operate the Cosmic Big Lotto in their own realms.

Cosmic Drifter Fish
In the asteroid belt of Apex Segmentum, there wanders a silicon-based lifeform known as the drifter fish. For the most part, they move by drifting, slow as space junk, and were once ranked in the top five of the "Least Dangerous Intellitrons." That is, until the Second Emperor's War, when people discovered that their fin-like tails actually concealed high-energy thrusters capable of reaching one-tenth the speed of light in just thirty seconds at full power. In the end, the Marketing Development Department paid the price of the entire Third Fleet to "exterminate" the drifter fish. However, in the Solar Sailboat Competition held in 2120 AE, the IPC representative Hekas Iron-Eye took first place using four drifter fish as propulsion, declaring the domestication of the species complete.

Cumulous Steak
An atmospheric floating organism herded in the air by the Merito people. After prolonged selective breeding, the taste of their meat is now indistinguishable from normal farmed species. The intense difficulty involved in cooking their meat meant they became an ingredient that frequently appeared in high-end culinary establishments. Based on observations by the Astral Ecology School, these creatures have significant genetic similarities with the Cnidaria organisms in Muldrasil. There are even radicals who claim that these animals share a common ancestor with the wingweavers, but this idea faced universal rebuttal from the Interastral Culinary Association.

Dance of the Scorching Sun
While other city-states were still chopping wood and kindling fires, the followers of Aquila had already mastered an inexhaustible energy source. The small-yet-formidable altar known as the Dance of the Scorching Sun could directly absorb the energy in sunlight and lightning, radiating heat intense enough to melt ice and snow within a 5-kilometer radius. Its brilliance was so blinding that even Oronyx's night veil recoiled before it. Under its protection, multiple city-states rose from barren lands, transforming even the most desolate regions into thriving havens. But that was before the Dance of the Scorching Sun was extinguished. Now, those once-prosperous cities stand as lifeless ruins, echoes of a bygone era.

Darksea Bait Chunks
The Astral Ecology School's work on Shattered Star Bait yielded a new substance that had an enticing effect on void song whales and other large creatures. This innovation propelled the advancement of the space whaling industry, accelerating ecological deterioration. According to unreliable sources, the IPC had originally planned to use it to lure Luxbane, until relevant personnel discovered during a large-scale experiment that humans were also attracted to it.

Deep Sleep
Scholars typically resolve their differences through papers and debates, but for the Armed Archaeologists, physical intervention proves more effective. Deep Sleep was invented for the purpose: When the lampshade shatters, its wave-like particles permeate solid walls, inducing infant-like sleep in those who breathe them in. However, always measure the wind direction before use, especially avoiding downwind deployments.

Delicious Marimo Candy
The Kolchis established an extremely prosperous sunset dynasty in the rainforest approximately one thousand Amber Eras ago. However, they disappeared within ten Amber Eras after the beginning of the Ice Age. The fate of the Kolchis became a myth that plagued historians for many years due to how bodies of this race have never been unearthed — until a group of hothead daredevils following Trailblaze collapsed the species' subterranean royal mausoleum with dynamite. These Nameless, trapped in the underground passage, discovered an edible algae species and held on until help arrived thanks to consuming this algae. That was how these delectable algae were introduced to the stars — when people realized that these algae were nothing less than the Kolchis, this moss ball became labeled as an invasive species on more than fifty planets.

Dignity and Passion
The Interastral Peace Corporation has the final right of interpretation regarding mining work in star zones under their possession. Any illegal mining activities will be viewed as an act of blasphemy that interferes with the Amber Lord's wall construction. Great naval rams, installed atop the military cruisers, will swiftly and directly hammer toward the culprit, generously displaying the holy visage of Qlipoth to them and rendering the illegal mining ship into scraps. Oswaldo has jokingly stated more than once that the means employed by the Building Material Logistics Department are far more radical than those used by the Marketing Development Department, and that might well be the truth.

Dimension Reduction Dice
Nine six-sided dice make up this bizarre pyramidal device. It can continuously reduce the number of dimensions it occupies and exists in the 3-dimensional world as a purely 2-dimensional entity. No one knows who created it or why.

Divination Cuckoo Clock
Every day at dawn, this cuckoo clock will spit out a piece of paper with poetry written on it. All the sentences in the poems are composed of jargon from ancient mathematical systems. Some believe these poems to be prophetic and claim to be close to deciphering them, only for the clock to suddenly disappear. The possibility of foretelling the future is already priceless, and everyone is hoping for the clock to once again be circulated in the market. If that ever happened, all the riches of the universe would pour towards the clock — But there are also those who think it is only an artistic cuckoo clock designed to be good at writing poems.

Divine Visage
An old camera that was purported to have recorded the figure of the Beauty, and was considered a treasure by the Mirror Holders. It was once auctioned as a commodity on the Cosmic dark web, but every auction attracted Masked Fools who maliciously raised the price until it could not be sold. It was only passed into the hands of the Mirror Holders after the Fools lost their interest in the prank. Pictures had long faded from within this camera by then, but people seemed to still scry that Aeon's beauty on the lens — as if THEY were a sun that scorched the world with the flames of beauty, leaving behind only eternal imprints.

Do as the Locals Do
The bodies of organic life are extremely fragile things. Extreme gravity, toxic air, deep ocean pressure — these things that are no more than daily realities for natives become trials of survival for any visitor. According to the Astral Express's data bank, a number of former technician Nameless worked together to create a clay doll that was capable of free transformation. They could simulate the physical form of native citizens and connect to the senses of their controller to allow the trailblazing journey to continue through even the harshest environments through long-distance operations. Due to their lack of realism, clay doll exploration was quickly abandoned by the Nameless, but this technology became a huge boom in the field of interstellar tourism, allowing the IPC to make massive profits.

Doomsday Compound Eye — Early Access Version
Though the Finality's fluctuating murmurs often leave the Omen Vanguards in a state of wracked dizziness, their clairvoyant eyes remain a miracle that organic life has coveted since their birth. With the aid of a hacker friend, the Omen Vanguard Endin briefly transferred the divine blessing into an ocular device, allowing its user's eyes to project into the near-future. The oblivious hacker puts on the device as Endin snickers and their sight leaps to the Punklord an Amber Era later. He sees the game that myriad hackers had been clamoring for, with a line of words blown up above it: "On sale soon." Is this also not a form of doomsday to a hacker?

Doors' Other Side
From a certain perspective, the priests of Janus and the thieves of Zagreus share a common interest — their study of all sorts of doors. The difference lies in their methods: The former approaches them through scholarship, while the latter relies on the art of thievery. This is why a legendary artifact said to unlock all doors became a point of contention between the two factions. The struggle continued until the master thief Lykos managed to steal it from the Temple of Janus. Seeking to test its power, he discovered that the artifact indeed opened any door, but only to a random location on the other side. With this revelation, the thieves quickly lost interest.

Dragon Bone Shield
Skiana is a small coastal city on the fringes of Amphoreus, long plagued by sea beast attacks. Eventually, under the leadership of a heroic captain, the city repelled the creatures and even recovered a severed limb from one of them. The remains were dragged back to the city. Though its flesh had rotted away, the bones were as hard as iron and as smooth as jade. The city's most skilled craftspeople ground the bones into shields, impervious to blades and spears, bringing great fame to the island. But with fame came war. The Kremnoans set their sights on these divine armors, and in the end, even the shields could not withstand their spears.

Dreadful Meme
During the Worlds Reborn Initiative's first phase, Planarcadia becomes a massive construction site with skyscrapers popping up daily amidst deafening noise. Some questioned why the IPC didn't just use "aether editing" to print buildings out of nothing, while others tried to dampen the din to no avail. The resulting mental strain on the locals turned fear and resentment into a surge of Wishpower, creating this aberration. Rumor has it that it still haunts the skies of Duomension City, preying on office workers heading home late.\n\n"I'm the Drill Devil. I'm gonna stick to your ceiling and blast 120dB of white noise at 6:00 AM every single day!"

Dreamdive Can
A sweet dream food can from Penacony, Planet of Festivities. It is full of highly compact gaseous memoria. The user will fall into dreams within five minutes after opening the can. The Dreamdive Can was originally a toy in the Cosmos's middle-class family bedroom, but became the only way for people to sleep on some planets deep in the mires of war. In the gloomy and depressing mining caves, the survivors fall shiveringly asleep and head into dreams to find the freedom they could not find in reality, just like how it was like in yesteryear in the Land of the Dreams.

Dreams — 0110
The medical treatment of inorganic beings has always been a confounding conundrum for Doctors of Chaos. These metal creations have neither the cells to allow for potions to take effect nor the brains that can react to rituals. To eliminate Nihility's taint on their rust and circuits, the doctors ground silicon-eating flowers to dust, then combine them with secretions of comet cicadas and fingernails of roaming devils to create a powerful spiritual lubricant. Though Intellitrons lack taste sensors and do not complain about the taste of potions and ointments unlike organic life, patients indicate that all Intellitrons who have had the lubricant added to them have reported dreams of an electric butterfly with a gaping, bloody jaw.

Encouragement for You
As a History Fictionologist, Thym places great emphasis on education through positive reinforcement, which might be related to his not-so-pleasant childhood. To comfort disheartened children, he designed a unique "encouragement" vessel. Whenever a child receives praise, the power of encouragement materializes in front of them as flame, shaped as a thumbs-up. The more encouragement received, the brighter the flame burns. However, when he tried to promote this idea across the universe, he faced opposition from many parents. Because children shouldn't play with fire.

End of an Altruist
Back when Genius Society #77, Puzzle, was not yet a genius, she had previously discovered an alternative form of hyper-distant delivery to the warp jump. This almost magic-like space engine was able to teleport any physical object to their destinations in the blink of an eye. The downside was that these objects that appeared from nowhere would cause surrounding materials to expand at an almost infinite rate and cause violent explosions, making them unfit for use in any spaceship. Even so, the IPC still paid an enormous price to purchase the patent from her — to use as an era-defining weapon. The moment this staunch pacifist witnessed these explosions, she became a Genius.

Entropic Die
Entropic Dice are common in the universe and cause countless tiny but malevolent disturbances. To use it, you grab the die tightly and think of any meaningful sentence in your head, then as you throw the die, think about the food you want to eat the most. You will receive unexpected wealth if the die lands on a certain number and wonderful love on another number, but the ends you will meet for other numbers include illness, bad luck, curses, and lifelong rain. Despite this, many people still love to play with these dice, and happily declare that these items are just a joke made by the Masked Fools.

Excess Nutrition
Doctor Atarte invented a nutrition management machine to confront the increasingly dire challenge of obesity. Not only can this machine absorb excess nutrition from its owner and save these calories elsewhere, but it can also filter out the harmless particles in the atmosphere to synthesize food. However, no one expected the consumers would instead gain weight, as the synthesized foods were too efficient and caused the users to keep eating. The overwhelming complaints made Doctor Atarte lose sleep for days at a time, losing a large amount of weight.

Eye of Overseer
During Cerydra's reign, faith in Talanton flourished like never before. Many people took it upon themselves to crack down on law violations, begging Talanton to pass judgment on all sorts of trivial matters, but the Scale of Justice rarely responded. It was then that the "Eye of Overseer" came into being. It could record sights and sounds to help courts reach verdicts, and could only be used by true believers of Talanton. Before the Flame-Chase Journey began, all Eyes of Overseer were destroyed, as too many people discovered they weren't true believers of Talanton after all.

Interastral Peace Corporation staff members who are promoted to level P40 gain the right to purchase Faith Bonds. These bonds indicate Louis Fleming's affirmation of the individual staff and come with a sacred vow: The staff now have a place in the Amber Lord's destined achievement of Preservation. One person's abilities amount to nothing, their wealth also amounts to nothing, and their faith is like a single particle of dust in the wide starry seas. However, generations of humanity will join together and ultimately obtain the power to protect the entire universe.

An escapee reported that he had acquired a Family Ties after opening a peculiar box, and inadvertently entered a gathering of The Family that venerates Xipe the Harmony. He described witnessing an unprecedented scene: The will of numerous heavenly bodies were intertwined, coiling into a single bound knot. Under Family Ties, people open their eyes wide, their faces etched with eerie smiles, staring at one another with identical expressions. When he voiced a question at the scene, everyone in the grand hall simultaneously shifted their gaze towards him and spoke with the same voice — "Welcome." The escapee was instantly unnerved, and, in a desperate bid for survival, he too held his eyes wide, his face plastered with the same smile.

Featherlight Inscription
Planet Nikota has complex and solemn funeral traditions. Residents hold grand ceremonies for the deceased, and the government has laws prohibiting the desecration of tombstones. As time passed, the planet gradually became occupied by tombstones, leaving less and less living space for the living. Masked Fool Urima lived on Nikota for 40 years, attending thousands of funerals where guests would weep endlessly, with no hint of joy. So he planned a special funeral for himself: in front of everyone, his tombstone sprouted thrusters and soared into the sky to pounding beats, the exhaust flames burning an epitaph into the grass: "Come on, smile! Isn't it vast out there?"

The Mad King Qhaley adores children because they are closest to the essence of the Enigmata THEMSELF. A child closes their storybook and raises the wooden stick in their hand, proclaiming it to be the knight's sword, destined to venture beyond the mountains to vanquish the evil king and seize his territory and treasures. Qhaley concocts riddles, weaves tales, and fabricates a kingdom made only of children. His purpose remains unknown, but to this day, many children still hold high their swords, awaiting the kingdom's gates to swing open for the knights.

Fission Cuckoo Clock
After receiving an omen from the Finality, the Cuckoo Clocks connected to the cataclysm suddenly appeared in the Black Forest, causing blockchains of inorganic entities to break up for reasons unknown. A Nameless intruding in the forest, however, began collecting the clocks for reasons related to passion and was determined to bring the clocks back home with them. The Fission Cuckoo Clock constantly split during the journey, and in the end, the ship of the Nameless was filled to the brim. However, due to not comprehending the hints given by emerging phenomena resulting from constantly splitting the Fission Cuckoo Clock within the allotted time, the Nameless was devoured by the swarm halfway through their interstellar voyage.

Flatbread
Before the Second Great Prosperity, interstellar travel was an absolute slog. Limited by the technology of the time, ships often took months just to cross a star system, while long-distance voyages were measured in years. Many sailors would end up losing themselves in the boundless cosmos, succumbing to depression or delirium, even treating the control console as their best friend. To assist in crew psychological intervention, a Doctor of Chaos named Pino invented "Positive Emotion Hardtack." Consumers would recall the happiest moments of their lives, enabling them to do anything with a positive attitude. However, after its widespread adoption, many employees used it during performance reviews to derive happiness from working overtime. The IPC quickly banned the production of these hardtacks. Nowadays, people must rely on their own strength to confront the sense of desolate emptiness.

Fool's Mask
The mask of the Masked Fools is symbol toward their faith in the Elation, and wearing said mask is effectively an admission ticket when they gather at the tavern at the edge of the world. These masks are made of heavy material, are vibrant in color, and with a maniacal smile yet with surprisingly intricate brushstrokes, as if waiting for each playful prank. They bear the devout certification of the Masked Fools, but it seems like they were all stolen from the ship of the Mourning Actors.

Footstep of Gods
A group of Kephale followers were obsessed with finding giant footprints. They claimed those are the proofs of Kephale once walking on earth, and people would receive the Titan's blessing if they stood in the footprints. Another group smelled a business opportunity from this rumor. They were dedicated to finding new footprints, then building exhibition halls around the prints and charging a fee for pilgrims coming to worship. These activities drew a third kind of people, the craftsmen and businesses that sold miniature models of the footprint around the halls. Maybe boosting commerce is also a form of Kephale's blessing.

Just apply it on your eyelids and you would get a full 24 system hours' worth of good luck. Many at Herta space station were ecstatic to try out this invention.

Once, an unlucky thief stumbled upon a black-robed old man on the roadside. Showing his whip-lashed, swollen legs, the thief knelt and begged for a hiding place to escape his pursuers.

When the pursuers arrived, all they found was a squeaking, lame black rat, while the old man had vanished along with the Thief Star, Zagreus.

Frozen Virtue
Hundreds of Amber Eras ago, the Kolchis considered devouring others as a sign of great respect. When a baby was born, the entire Kalsasian community would mobilize to care for it. And for their deceased members, the Lapispeakers would craft a special information flake as a burial offering... These beautiful virtues are gradually disappearing with the progression of time. The pessimists of the Garden of Recollection proposed that universal morality should be preserved through emergency measures. However, which virtues are truly worth preserving still seems to be up for debate.

Fruit of Whispered Wisdom
Knowledge requires a proper vessel to thrive, much like plants need fertile soil. The Grove Scholars have mastered the art of infusing sacred trees with knowledge and, with Cerces's blessing, they harvest fruits laden with wisdom. These Titan-blessed seeds carry more information than entire libraries and are sent to places in need, where they take root and flourish across the city-states of Amphoreus. However, be warned: Consuming these fruits will flood your mind with incessant whispers of knowledge, transforming you into a tree before you can resist.

Genius Society's Dangerous Gossip
"What does Polka actually look like?" Members of the fan club have always been curious about what Polka Kakamond really looks like. The possibility of erasing all her portraits across the universe aside, the Lord of Silence has appeared multiple times in history but never left even the most meager trail. Some believe that Polka merely slew all who set eyes upon her. Others say that she borrowed the power of Enigmata or Nihility to scrub all traces of her existence. Finally, a fervent fan's conjecture received everyone's acknowledgment — that perhaps Polka's face has been a haze of indiscernible features to begin with.

Genius' Confusion
One day, Genius Society #77 Puzzle suddenly wanted to add something to the Cosmic educational effort. She used a simple force field to weave multidimensional structures such as mini wormholes and Imaginary subspace fields in a Klein bottle, hoping to use this educational toy as the first stepping stone to physics for all children in the universe. As expected, this great invention was met with abysmal sales. Evidently, pre-school education as conceived by Puzzle was quite different from the general public's perception of it. This only illustrates that a genius cannot be a genius in every aspect of life.

Once all the rage in Amphoreus, this skincare product worked wonders with a simple spray: a veil of golden powder that smoothed wrinkles, brightened, and moisturized the skin.

But as the bath's proprietress grew in divinity, such skincare products vanished completely from the market.

Gold Coin of Discord
Not all planets opened their arms and welcomed the expansion of the Interastral Peace Corporation's commercial empire. While the cosmic map kept expanding, there were always rare exceptions that refused the IPC's beneficence. "Thank you," they stated, "but we don't need credits. We can look after ourselves just fine." The representative of the IPC would usually shrug at these statements, then casually destroy the root of that planet's commercial system — it is usually based on gold.

Goodluck Cookie
Whether they are novice pickpockets or infamous master thieves, they always keep a few Goodluck Cookies in their pockets. These are dry, travel-friendly rations with a rather unappealing taste, rumored to be a recipe personally devised by their grandmaster, Zagreus. The ingredients are simple — just common ingredients like flour, butter, sugar, and salt — but if one happens to bite into the piece containing a hidden coin, they are said to receive the Titan's blessing. This might explain the cookie's odd texture and why so many thieves are missing a corner of a tooth, but who cares? As long as it brings good luck, it's worth the risk.

Green Fingers
In certain brink quadrants that were forced into development, a number of the natives that were responsible for the cheap labor would mistakenly believe that the credit currency used by the IPC was the fruit of a certain plant. So, they would retain the freshest-looking notes and bury them in the ground, with the hopes of growing their very own credit trees. The meddlesome Masked Fools gained inspiration from this misunderstanding and imitated the concept of the Gold Coins of Discord to create a credit tree, spreading the seeds far and wide. Fearing inevitable inflation, the IPC immediately set blockades across large borderland areas and rushed to the fruit fields to investigate. What they found on arrival, however, was that the locals had taken to simply eating the credits as fruits instead.

Hero's Triumphant Return
Unlike the History Fictionologists who bring disaster across the cosmos, the kingdom of Kali only welcomes the laughter of children. They traverse the flux of pineapple juice, the storms of cotton candy whiffs, arriving at the moss-laden evil dragon's castle, trusty sword in hand, to wrest it of its treasures. But fiction will always fade away — The wails of children summon their guardians, and the children scorn imagination when they grow up. Thus, Enigmata ceases to exist. Young lads and lasses startle upright on their beds, waking from their dreams of brandished blades. Only the dusty-edged sword beside them remembers the glories of knights vanquishing evil.

According to unreliable historical records, in the age when the Leviathans still traversed the cosmos, there existed only one type of sushi. When the Order collapsed and the Voracity vanished without a trace, the original sushi faith also splintered into numerous factions. Among the sushi masters, the Sushi Restoration faction's cooking philosophy was simple — They believed that the essence of sushi should be a gathering of energy wrapped within an edible layer. Therefore, the thing most fitting of the definition of sushi in the universe should be — the internal combustion engine.

The first robbery in the history of Alphany since its founding had occurred. Its diverse populace from different planets had co-existed peacefully since it was developed by the IPC as a trade transit hub two Amber Eras ago, maintaining a zero-per cent violent crime rate. When police surrounded the crime scene, a small convenience store, the robber strutted out. This malfunctioning cashier robot claimed to be the vanguard of an alien invasion and demanded all credits. The police resolved the situation with a single volley of bullets, remarking, "What's so great about aliens? We're all aliens here."

IPC Cuckoo Clock
The IPC's initial Prototype Cuckoo Clock represents the beginning of Operation Cuckoo Clock. Many are curious why Operation Cuckoo Clock was conceived — Louis Fleming declared that the worship of Qlipoth, Aeon of Preservation, means the IPC needs to protect its hard-won presence. In his speech, he stated that while the Interastral Peace Corporation is now the master of the universe's finances, it still needs to remain vigilant against the catastrophe of Finality. That is why he advocated the creation of the cuckoo clock series to collect information regarding that Aeon, meticulously removing any possibility of the IPC becoming bankrupt or disbanded in its future cosmic journey.

Automatons fabricated by the History Fictionologists are rumored to have been made to create a large amount of high-quality fabrications that can be symbolically understood as a highly efficient and multicolored smokescreen. However, due to the History Fictionologists' poor habits when handling their own historical documentations, the automatons eventually discovered their own illusory design by reading such classified texts, and furthermore called another matter into question: Could the History Fictionologists themselves be fabrications as well?

Insect Web
The Armed Archaeologists had repeatedly reported on the dangers they met in the wild. They had encountered a never-ending stretch of insect webbings deep inside a nest, with the decaying shed skins of worms, tens of thousands of egg sacs, and various secretions stuck to it. Touching this web carries a high risk of becoming infected by the parasitic larvae. Once, a parasitized Armed Archaeologist steeled themselves and sliced out larvae from underneath the skin of their arm with a knife in order to deliver data to the Intelligentsia Guild for research purposes. The academic world gave this act high praises and devoted much research into it, coming to the conclusion that these creatures are very likely the descendants of Tayzzyronth, the Imperator Insectorum.

A brilliant reversal, a meticulous deduction, a novel framework... All those elusive flashes of inspiration across every field vanish in an instant, leading to immense intellectual waste. Leveraging Memory Bubble technology, the Candelagraphos created specialized containers to preserve such sparks, classifying them by quality into different colors: the finest in orange, the poorest in blue. Yet before The Riddlers could intervene, they voluntarily abandoned the research. After all, realizing an idea is far more difficult than proposing it. And for the planet's elite researchers, if a suggestion goes unadopted, it might as well be forgotten.

Interastral Big Lotto
How do you make a business model last? After getting rave reviews for their Cosmic Big Lotto, the Interastral Peace Corporation's Business Consolidation Department followed Oswaldo Schneider's product vision and put the Interastral Big Lotto on the market, hoping that it would bring them success as well. They even connected eighty-six complementary industrial production chains and promoted them as a single entity. However, although the "Lotto Goddess" Beatrice Mellanine the IPC wished to develop as their spokesperson for their product perished due to reasons unknown, the IPC still reaped a windfall of credits in the end!

Interstellar Roaming Pager
As more planets joined the pan-cosmic market, the IPC urgently needed a miniaturized hyper-distant delivery device for employees stationed in frontier regions. Eventually, the School of Pure Creation's "Interstellar Roaming Pager" won the bid. This device inherited the virtues of the Amber Lord: sturdy enough to serve as a noodle-cup weight, can opener, and emergency survival hammer all in one. Its signal was equally tenacious, maintaining a connection anywhere in the cosmos, even from within a black hole. Once deployed, frontier planets promptly saw a significant drop in absenteeism rates.

Iridescent Black
When the Omen Vanguards delivered their revelation to Planet Kromor, the locals were already obsessed with art. During the Great Painting Festival, Kromorians spent every waking hour hunting for the perfect pigment mix, desperate to recreate the legendary "Iridescent Black" from ancient texts. They threw nearly everything they owned into their melting pots. Two Amber Eras later, a collector named Mr. Singularity visited and found the entire surface drained of color, save for a single, writhing mass of colorful black pigment. He tucked the glob into his collection and moved on. They say that late at night, that splash of color still squirms in its dish, hungering for more.

JoyStream TV
The inventor of JoyStream TV proclaimed it the greatest innovation ever, comparing it to a beacon of light in the dark, providing some entertainment to mundane stretches of daily life. But why should it just be a little bit? Entertainment should be life itself! With a simple click of the remote, even super-galactic explosions could be turned into entertainment shows. However, this marketing strategy proved disastrously shortsighted. By the time the IPC completed its risk assessment, it was too late. JoyStream TV had caused nearly a hundred worlds to regress into primitive societies, their inhabitants hopelessly mesmerized by their screens.

Joyous Incense
While watching the Mourning Actors' performance, a Masked Fool suddenly had a wild thought: Would he create an unrivaled joke if he added some small surprises to the Actors' soothing incense burner? He lit up half of his own mask and tossed it into the incense burner, then calmly returned to the audience's seats and watched the Actors clapping to the annihilation of the Morrowen Kingdom. When the incense was burnt out, the Actors wailed in anguish, feeling profound guilt at their mockery of a dead world. Yet this Fool busted out in laughter and is still boasting this joyful farce to his peers at the Tavern to this day.

Kill That Butterfly
The process of annihilating a chaotic system is like making a specimen. Pin the information on every particle on the board and still the wings, then bind the butterfly's path and make reality dance in the way you want it to. Any tiny change would instantly disintegrate the fragile balance. No matter how much the scholars continue to perfect the model, they could only consider the foolish act of unifying the pattern of movement as the hubris of mortals. Therefore, I still clearly remember the first day I killed the butterfly, even though it was so long ago. I remember how the point of the knife stabbed into its chest.

King of Sponges
In the Black Forest, a sponge miraculously became sapient. It tried to interact with the similarly sapient screws, but found itself hitting a brick wall. It pondered about its painful experience and learned to smooth away all the edges in its personality, allowing itself to constantly shine and climb up the societal ladder, ultimately turning into a smooth and slick sponge. Now, it dedicates its efforts to uplifting discarded sponges into developing their own self-awareness.

Knowledge Injection Gun
When the Knowledge Injection Gun first appeared in the Doramon galaxy, it was hailed as a revolutionary invention that could alter the course of human evolution — just one injection in the buttocks could enable a kindergartner to solve complex spatial equations. However, the invention quickly fell from grace as the injections caused severe diarrhea, not only rapidly expelling new knowledge but also erasing old ones. Eventually, the invention was only minimally used as a prescription for digestive issues.

Lapispeakers' Flakes
Solid-state information flakes excreted from the bodies of Lapispeakers. These highly intelligent Echinodermata-like animals use these solids to record everything — from the broken words of an individual to the history of entire societies. Due to the unique neuronal structures of the Lapispeakers, the information in the solids can be decrypted by other interstellar civilizations at a relatively low cost. Therefore, they joined the IPC's system many years before the creation of the Synesthesia Beacon, becoming a key supporting function to cosmic communications.

Laurel Crown of Planar Shifts
After the most intelligent minds from each star system are acknowledged by the Intelligentsia Guild, they could be granted the Laurel Crown of Planar Shifts at the Imperial Sentience Ceremony. The leaves of the laurel crown are made of leaves of decayed mesons, and the crown itself is woven in the shape of branches using quantum beams. After the acknowledged one puts it on, they will feel that they exist in a different plane of the universe.

Lost Golden Claw Anchor
Oceanic voyages are gruelling work. When facing the fickle Phagousa, you can never predict whether today's calm waters will give way to tomorrow's towering waves. However, if you possess a Lost Golden Claw Anchor, no storm can shake your ship, no matter how fierce they are. The claws come from the Fowl-Hunting Golden Claw, a great eagle reborn once every hundred years. When its flames burn out, it leaves behind a pair of golden talons. Anything caught in their grasp will never be released unless the proper incantation is uttered, making them the perfect substitute for a ship's anchor.

Love-Seeking Golden Dart
If you were invited to the group date parties hosted by the most fanatic Mnestia followers, then I recommend that you go not in elegant gowns but in a suit of armor — Or at least go with a helmet. You'll thank me when you're facing the golden darts flying chaotically all over the space. Those followers are of the firm belief that the golden dart can find love for them, and the person it stabs is the true love destined for the one who threw the dart. You know, this manner of courting actually has some sense — If someone can still talk to you peacefully after being stabbed in the head by a dart you threw, then they sure have the potential to become your partner.

Loveless Dust
In the hidden alleyways of every city-state, there are always vendors peddling Titan's blessings, like Death Experience Pills, Elixirs of Wisdom, and Honeyed Tongue Oils. That blasphemous scale dust is also one of the products. Merchants claim that it takes a hundred golden butterflies to produce a single pouch of the insect scale dust. Once applied to the eyes, even the most wrinkled old woman appears as a walking incarnation of Mnestia. Given the bizarre social incidents this powder has caused, most city-states have classified it as a banned substance.

Man-Made Meteorite
Within the span of a century, three geniuses who drew the gaze of the Erudition Aeon were born on the same planet. They were Bohdan #7, Lambda #8, and Klein #9. Hence, this epoch was known as the "Golden Age." Rumor has it that something of a romantic comedy unfolded between the trio, as during this time, Klein — #9 of Genius Society — once created a man-made meteorite for #7, Bohdan, and upon the meteorite's surface existed a replica of the Eye of Erudition.

Mechanical Cuckoo Clock
After the Second Rubert Rebellion, the IPC had once planned a brutal extermination of all mechanical life across the Cosmos. Fortunately, before the plan was passed, the IPC heard that #76 Screwllum was selected by Nous to join the Genius Society. The IPC then made this mechanical cuckoo clock as a gift to appease the new genius. This gift is very unremarkable in today's view, but that was an era when mechanical beings were persecuted. The birth of the mechanical cuckoo clock itself is a symbol of peace.

Medal of the Gloryblood Era
A hundred Amber Eras after the proliferation of the Amber Era system and the Synesthesia Beacon, interstellar trade continued to develop and resource exchange became a pressing matter. A few planets ascended to become bustling interstellar hubs, signaling the onset of the Second Prosperity termed the "Gloryblood Era." The Second Prosperity endured for nearly five hundred Amber Eras before entering a gradual decline, but not even the apocalyptic Interstellar Energy War could erase its resplendent achievements. At the same time, Nous the Erudition unexpectedly terminated their calculations regarding the mysteries of the universe.

Memory Cycle
A Cremator viewed her career as penance, believing that all memories should be restricted and governed. She placed even her own memories into the Cycle and sorted them into categories, erasing the meaningless content within and retaining only the useful parts to assess with her cognition. However, incomplete memories would often lead to incorrect judgments, and important information would be erased while useless content is left behind. Her Memory Cycle became wrecked with cracks, and this penance only lasted half an Amber Era before ending — Because she forgot even her role as a Cremator.

Memory of Stars
The beaches to the west of Amphoreus are different to all other beaches — They are ashen black. The followers of Oronyx would go there to pick sea conchs during low tide, claiming that everyone was a star in the sky before they were born and that upon the person's death, their star would fall into the River of Souls, which then washes the star into the sea and forms conchs. They, therefore, believe that sea conchs contain the voices and memories of the dead, and the conchs can answer when spoken to. This myth became more and more fantastical over the years, culminating in the belief that sea conchs have the power of prophecy. People therefore asked the conchs countless questions and, when no satisfactory answer was received, would cook the conchs and serve them up as a dish.

Metallic Gear Ring
Due to the influence of History Fictionologists, the end of #Rubert II has always remained enigmatic. Some references wrote that the second emperor's organic body ultimately hindered him from completing the empire's great work, as he died from illness on the cast-iron throne. Some poets warbled that a lady in a pastel-colored silk dress sauntered into the capital, and the empire collapsed in a cacophony. Other voices lamented that the metallic ring pricked his finger, and so the riotous machine killed the organic before him. Some plays also dramatized that he suddenly expressed his profound feelings and shed human tears as if he suddenly became free, then slowly closed his eyes before his subjects, never to open them again.

Mining Dust Collector
Nomadic miners don't always mine deposits — the Terramite-III is a massive airship designed specifically for mining planets, integrating residential, refining, and other functional modules. The giant drill it carries can directly shatter an entire asteroid, with surrounding tractor beams collecting the debris. It is said that a certain miner group violated the Interastral Security Treaty by using this ship to strip away an entire continent from the planet Olander. But the locals were more amazed by the thing's appearance than what the planet had lost, since it looked exactly like a vacuum robot from Interastral Peace Appliances, just magnified tens of millions of times. The miners, meanwhile, admit it's one of their most trusted designs.

Minotaur Hunt
A set of treasure maps that dynamically track monsters. In the labyrinthine hunting grounds of Planet Minotaur, hunting Minotaurs was once an incredibly popular activity. However, as Minotaurs faced extinction due to environmental degradation, the activity was forcibly suspended two Amber Eras ago. Nevertheless, conservation specialists from the Intelligentsia Guild have implanted tracking chips in every surviving Minotaur and developed a rather reliable population recovery plan. Perhaps in the near future, people will once again be able to shout that classic hunter line in the maze: "Holy cow, there's a bull!"

Mock Crimson Moon
Torkirk the scholar once proposed a bold hypothesis, claiming that the "Crimson Moon" passed down through generation after generation of borisin Warheads is most likely a form of intracellular parasite. Through stimulating their host's violent urges and appetites, these parasites continuously ingest the consumed prey's genetic information and complete their own genomic evolution. The continuous evolution of the Warhead's own physical capabilities is the external representation of this parasite's evolution. As he was unable to ever provide evidence of the material his research was based on, Torkirk was very quickly expelled due to academic misconduct. However, many people still believe that he has been hidden away in a secret laboratory and still continues to work on his insane artificial heart project.

Moment of Tranquility
Since the end of Era Chrysea, Amphoreus has never lacked fools hoping to evade death. Some lock themselves among madmen, attempting to confuse the eyes of the Titan. Others hide in coffins, using boulders to isolate themselves from the turbulent River of Souls, seeking to preserve eternal beauty. And fate naturally bestows upon them their deserved end. Thus, the mad king can never die, while the slumbering maiden greets immortality in her eternal sleep. On the Hand of Shadow's long ship, blessings and curses are indistinguishable.

Most Raucous
Few creatures can survive in Talia's sandstorms, and Barzarton lizards are one of them. They consume the highly radioactive ores on the planet as food and convert it as energy needed for survival. Their excessive energy and aggressiveness make Barzarton lizards demonstrate capacities far beyond that of ordinary vehicles. Some deceptive businesspeople even named the species "Destructive Mega Lizard," hoping to sell it to newbie Annihilation Gang members for a high price on the black market. As the open-air mines gradually became depleted, more Barzarton lizards learned to carry their young to the land of the Wastelanders to ensure the offspring's survival. That was how Talia's lizard breeding industry was born.

Mysterious Magnetism
To combat the determinacy of Erudition, the Riddlers performed a great deal of labor in aspects of knowledge that has yet to be set in stone. They inserted the Fog of Thought and the Rain of Sensation into a single prismatic lens, and their combined colors shifted endlessly to form a "magnetic field" that can disturb the senses. Revelrous in their success, the Riddlers sought to push this line of research onward but were made to stop, for the more they committed to this study, the more they grew uncertain of the necessity of its continuation.

Obliteration Wick Trimmer
If this candle wick trimmer is used to cut a wick, the angry anti-matter flames will ignite the candle, and the entire candlestick will be obliterated within seconds under the intense particle collisions. Exothermic reactions will be immediately triggered if this trimmer grazes your skin. Any parts of the body that the trimmer touches will instantly turn into antiprotons, reverberate throughout the body, and then scatter.

Old Skin
Why is it that the majority of intelligent species in the universe are primates? Whenever the periodical Technology Department meetings come to an end, Slejka would fall into a deep inferiority complex. She used injections of drugs to alter her external physical form, aiming for that of a human. Her breathing holes were covered with skin and her organs and bones were forcibly stretched, but this endless pain allowed her to gain the appearance of a human. However, this new look of hers was unfortunately met with disdain and contempt. With Slejka's encouragement, an endless queue of sentient beings came forth to change their appearance so they could look more human. However, this was not because transforming into a human held any particular benefit to her. It was purely because she wanted more people to share this pain with her.

Omniscient Capsule
There is a group in the Intelligentsia Guild that believes science was originally the same as magic, that advanced science is magic and rigorous magic is science. They drew inspiration from ancient fantastic mythologies and created the Omniscient Capsule, a light-weight and convenient storage gadget. The Intelligentsia Guild planned for the Omniscient Capsule to ultimately lead to independent demiplanes, thus obtaining infinite space beyond the advanced spatial compression technologies currently in use... And they are still trying.

Parallel Universe Walkie-Talkie
Some of the inventions produced by the Intelligentsia Guild always make people wonder whether the Masked Fools had infiltrated the guild. An example would be this "Parallel Universe Walkie-Talkie." Apparently, it can detect the tiny divergences in space-time shifts, and establish a relationship between the two closest divergence points, allowing information to be passed between the two — but the only thing the user can hear is their echo from the walkie-talkie. The project's manager Doctor DeWitt indicates that this phenomenon precisely illustrates the high level of similarity between parallel universes, where even the thoughts of the doppelganger would be completely identical.

Parts Pixie
Have you ever experienced this? Whenever you assemble a model, some parts always fall to the floor, never to be found again. That is because the Parts Pixies have hidden them away. These quantum lifeforms can only exist beyond one's field of vision and can never be truly observed. The Fools at the tavern claim the Red-Nosed Old-Timer loved models as a youth, and thus had many parts stolen. After stepping onto a mysterious Path, he captured a pixie with a story, making it willingly become one of his models. Afterward, he picked up the parts he had dropped in his childhood from the ground... and returned to his childhood.

A ballot box used to mediate interstellar conflict. According to the user's wishes, you could obtain pretty much anything from within. An aether-edited virus code, a portable firearm with massive destructive power, a fleet of spaceships built by the tiny Thermians, white flag inclusive. Though they regularly pop up incongruously across all corners of interstellar theaters of war, proclaiming peace in the name of Equilibrium, these boxes calling themselves Peace will never bring peace — Just like how everyone knows they are the work of the Masked Fools.

Perfecting Humans Protocol
If we could just collect everyone's data, surely we'd be able to piece together the perfect "idol." When an executive at Interastral Peace Entertainment had this idea, the Behavioral Data Modeling and Personality Fit Protocol started popping up in every corner of the universe. By signing it, you surrender your privacy and upload your entire life trail to the IPC. The Intelligentsia Guild then feeds this data to computers, using big data to create a perfect idol that caters to everyone's tastes. Countless residents have signed since the Worlds Reborn Initiative kicked off, yet that perfect idol is still nowhere to be found. Maybe the sample size is too small, or maybe the idea of "pleasing everyone" is just a paradox.

Perilous Memory Storage
The Memosnatcher Mausolea once issued a heist notice to the Governor of Merlo Sector, threatening to steal and publicize the deepest secrets within his mind. To counter her threat, the governor commissioned the Intelligentsia Guild to develop this storage device. He transferred 2,136 memory segments marked "High Risk" into it, intending to destroy them with the push of a button when the time came. When the Memosnatcher arrived, the hard drive failed to function as anticipated, since the Governor had long forgotten how to operate it. Ultimately, however, it still repelled the Memosnatcher when thrown directly at her. After all, it is a high-density block of information, which is effectively a brick to a memetic lifeform.

Perpetual Motion Cuckoo Clock
After Screwllum, #76 member of the Genius Society, gained a hard-won peace for mechanical lifeforms, Planet Screwllum welcomed a Second Industrial Revolution. Countless inventors created curse machines, probability calculators, and candy guards, and passionately researched topics on the Seven Great Mysteries. As the topic ranking second amongst all, "Perpetual Motion" was loved by mechanical lifeforms. A great inventor, ranked nineteenth in Planet Screwllum, presented to the public their own Perpetual Motion Cuckoo Clock at the end of their life — This fine work used the Archimeles Spiral Energy to keep itself perpetually in motion, but the great inventor ended their own life for no apparent reason after receiving supreme honors for their creation.

Pineapple
When the rock king Akbar was giving a disaster relief performance in the Merlo Nebula, he was struck with sudden inspiration by a strange fruit. These strange-looking fruits had been given the absurd name "pineapple," so he wrote about his extraordinary experience in his song lyrics and called upon his fans to attack the archaic language of the old world. Under his leadership, the rebellious youths began to endlessly twist existing nouns and filled the cold warehouses of every interstellar courier company with unimaginable "pineapples." It was only when over 100 developed worlds changed the definition of the word "pineapple" due to the fans that this wild, fruit-inspired rock and roll movement finally stopped in its tracks.

Plaguenest
The infamous Jepella Brotherhood used live biological weapons when they invaded the Lindgano star system. The virus that causes genes to self-destruct makes infected cells consume each other within the host's body, creating appalling calamities. However, the endless multiplication made the horde of living beings within the Nest Capital soon go out of control. Driven berserk, they turned on the Brotherhood and devoured the invaders' camp, making these thugs have no chance but to give up the brethren embroiled in it, discarding what they could to stay alive. Some claimed the Ever-Flame Mansion was behind this event, with the evidence being the unending death feud between the two organizations that followed in days to come.

Price of Peace
The Amber Lord Support Group rapidly expanded in the years after the Swarm Disaster, establishing themselves as the Interastral Peace Corporation, flourishing to unreachable heights. But, affected by the Borderstar Trade War and the Emperor's War, their road toward interastral peace grew increasingly arduous. After more than ten Amber Eras, this war ended with the fall of the Machine Empire. The universe finally welcomed the "Second Prosperity" that would last for hundreds of Amber Eras. People believed this era of prosperity would never end — until the day the even more terrifying Interstellar Energy War lifted its curtains.

Punklorde Mentality
Life is just a game — This sentence is no mere jest for hackers from the cyberworld Punklorde. They traverse the internet and use a technology known as aether editing to alter reality, making life into a great game. Occasionally, the cream of the crop among them gets to soar away from the planet and use the vast Cosmos as the second stage beyond the tutorial area. This cassette tape records the story of a legendary hacker. His life began in Punklorde's underground water reservoirs and ended in the company of the Galaxy Rangers. It is said that the funeral was a quiet one, with only a game cassette silently lying atop the coffin, serving as a footnote of "Finished the Game" at the hacker's final rites.

Punklordian Balance
Before they boarded the IPC escort ship, the legendary hacker Zero once publicly announced to the whole planet that they had left a cheat code hidden deep within the Aether Network, and that even the newest of newbie players needed only to insert it into the game files to overturn Punklorde's order completely. Although various major companies have announced that the cheat codes have been eliminated, you can still see at the brink of the data a fleet of ships ready at all times to make a deep dive, taking groups of high-spirited hackers setting off on a treasure hunt in high spirits. "Punklorde is a game with trash balance, so I've made some adjustments."

Conflicts in cyberspace are always more complicated than imagined. Hackers skip and leap across each other's paths in digital space and any perceived disadvantages by one side would result in them scurrying from the scene, thus drawing out all combat to infinite durations. In Punklorde, where aether editing was created, the legendary hacker Stoneblade fought his nemesis for fourteen summers, never truly achieving victory or suffering defeat. In the end, he concocted an aether encryption key with a uni-directional locking function, teleporting himself to his opponent's physical position, and ended this rivalry that spanned more than a decade, face-to-face.

Quantum Big Lotto
After the astounding success of the Interastral Big Lotto, the Business Consolidation Department struck while the iron was hot and issued the classic Quantum Big Lotto, riding on the hype of the big lotto's extrapolations and predictions. To solve this eternal question in probability and to obtain information about fortune in pure randomness, the number of students enrolling in the Quantum History School had once exceeded the peak level before their reformation. Though there would often be scholars who claim they've successfully made a model of the Quantum Big Lotto's trend, they would unanimously change their tone the day before their thesis is published — That their so-called discovery is just a misunderstanding.

It's rumored that any researcher who can independently solve a single question in the book will receive the chance to converse face-to-face with the great Madam Herta. Though no one had been able to verify that rumor to date, this book was still sold out in seconds thanks to the fans and became a legendary collector's tome that has gone out of print.

Rationality's Fall
What is truth? No one truly knows. Supposing that "stupidity" is an incurable disease in this world, then disseminating knowledge counts as a treatment for the universe. But can "books" mend all living things? According to the Intelligentsia Guild's historical records, the Philosopher Union of the Laurel Wreath Galaxy once erupted in civil war, and blood and machine oil had stained all the books in the contemplators' corridors. Uncountable numbers of scholars died, and the IPC employees who witnessed it all deemed this occurrence "Rationality's Fall" — Through such absurd means, books cleansed a world of its impurities once more.

The Beyond the Sky Choir lost their faith when Ena the Order was absorbed by Xipe. The once-solemn chords fell silent and the stars turned mute. Only a few records, made by the Choir's devoted audiences remain in this world today. When these records are placed within specific phonographs, you will hear songs from the end of the universe, sounds that contain the beauty of Order. The last Phonograph of Order was destroyed in the Emperor's War, and now the thick layer of dust on the records are protests to that soundless era.

Ever since Aquila's hundred eyes lost their light, the Regulation Seal has become the sole method of timekeeping in Amphoreus. Each day is equally divided into five periods according to human habit and behavior, and time pushes the pentagon clock face to slowly turn. This dial not only guards daily routines but also reveals underlying laws and foretells future events. Over time, this timekeeping system has synchronized with the biological clocks of many citizens, for they naturally wake at the Entry Hour and fall asleep at the Curtain-Fall Hour.

A grotesque keychain that recorded, like a knotted-string device, its master's every brush against death. Following the murmurs of the Finality, the hunter galloped towards those dangerous futures time and time again. The supernova explosion in the Red Mandarin Star Zone, the Swarm invasion at Dormonton, the grand starship heist by the interstellar bandit Naro... He firmly believed that his destiny would not end here, and therefore enjoyed every second during which he brushed against death. In the end, he became a Creed Exequy, and the only thing he left in his wake was death.

Revitalization-310
Among the various potions offered by the Doctors of Chaos, Revitalization-310 Potion probably belongs to the type that is not very safe. Smear it evenly across the forehead, suck on a leaf of the aster plant, and wait for the gel-like material created from a total of nine ingredients such as Redfeather Wolf tooth powder and Denisova Worms' stomach acid to permeate into the cerebral cortex. These bizarre ointments start from the patient's cognition and erase the root of the emotion that may give birth to Nihility. Unfortunately, due to the positive feedback that arises from this cognition adjustment, the ointment became a psychological anesthetic used to escape from reality after it was introduced to the border stars. Until the IPC's intervention, there had been sixteen star systems tottering on the verge of destruction due to cognition confusion and pharmacological abuse, and have reverted to oblivion.

Road of Prayers
The Mirror Holders created all manner of bizarre rituals, all in pursuit of the ideal of Beauty in their hearts. To Talorensky, beauty means "devotion." He placed the fragments of the Mirror of Transcendence into a fragile soap bubble — the foam a symbol of his inner thoughts, embarking on his pilgrimage. When the bubble bursts from the ardor of the journey, he would return to the garden of his home and reseal the mirror in the bubble. Each time he would return, and each time he would depart, never stepping foot off the home planet to this day. But to those who asked, he would resolutely mention his destination — where Idrila, the Aeon of Beauty fell: The Consternation Starzone, Lafcadio.

Road to Comets
A gravitational bridge built through projections on spacial structures, judged by the Intelligentsia Guild as one of the ten thousand most useless inventions in the universe. This device was born from a gamble made by the History Fictionologist "Red-Nosed Old-Timer." He claimed to be able to climb into the sky via lamplight and bet one-tenth of his wealth on it. However, when the distance is too long, walking on the light bridge is no different to a long-distance marathon. Yet if the distance is too short, the energy consumption needed to maintain the project far exceeds the cost of building a physical bridge — This is indeed an innovative creation, but it's hard to figure out where it should be used.

These noble knights who chased beauty wore resplendent gold and silver armor, and donned magnificent robes woven from silk and starlight. They had divinely beautiful features under their helmets.

Rotting Fruit of the Alien Tree
The Elixir Seekers once found a rotten Fruit of the Alien Tree. The color of its skin was already odd, having shifted from a faint yellow to powdery blue. To understand the pharmacology behind this fruit, a pair of Elixir Seeker twins separately ingested a normal Fruit of the Alien Tree and a rotten version. One of them immediately welcomed metamorphosis while the other instantly perished - But because there was no third party present, no one could confirm which twin survived, or which fruit he consumed.

Rubert Empire Difference Machine
A difference machine designed by Rubert I that took to history's stage during the Second Emperor's War. This terrifying device kept increasing its computational power and decision-making capacities during the war, veering on the edge of showing traits that could make it the third machine emperor. Now, the remains of the difference machine are sealed by the IPC inside multiple research institutes, and any device that connects with these remains will be invaded by the Anti-Organic Equation and automatically disintegrate after operating in an overloaded state. No one knows how the emperor managed to write the algorithms into these unthinking mechanical parts. They ceaselessly resonate with each other and wait for their next union — "If this is what geniuses are, then it'd be far better for the world to produce more idiots."

Rubert Empire Mechanical Cogwheel
#Rubert II professed to have inherited the memories of Emperor Rubert, listed as Genius Society #27, and initiated the second cosmos-spanning anti-organic Emperor's War. With the war came terrible calamity, and at the end of the conflict, the IPC spent vast amounts of credits to repeatedly appraise #Rubert II's remains. This, however, led to a dreadful revelation: #Rubert II was a being of flesh and tissue.

Sacrificial Javelin
For the warriors of Castrum Kremnos, war serves as a ritual sacrifice to Nikador. The ritual begins with the king's javelin — a spear infused with divine power that splits the night sky, its burst of light and heat capable of penetrating the strongest defenses and wiping entire city-states from the annals of history. King Agrysius sought to end this savage tradition by replacing bloodshed with competitive sport. Enraged, the citizens blinded him and banished him from the city, branding him a coward. Yet, some contend that this story was fabricated by his power-hungry brother as the old king's dying gaze remained fixed on his homeland.

Sapient Pen
A Grove scholar once had so many ideas that the slow speed of writing with human hands made him lose out on many inspired moments. He therefore made a pen from a small branch of Cerces and various valuable gemstones. That pen can write many times faster than an ordinary pen, but it took so long to develop that its maker died soon after its completion. Nonetheless, that invention still found glory in the annals of history — Since the sages love to punish apprentices by making them copy an essay a few hundred times, all Grove apprentices ended up having one copy of this pen each.

Sealing Wax of Abundance
There is a saying amongst the dejected Self-Annihilators that the universe has no purpose and humans are nothing in the eyes of the Aeons. If the Aeons truly stand above all lifeforms and rule supreme, then why would they care about the everyday concerns of mortals? The existence of the sleeping and shapeless IX is proof of that. To show the Self-Annihilators that the Aeons do care, the Doctors of Chaos combined the demon god crafts of the occult monks to create the Sealing Wax of Aeons. It is said that stamping with this Sealing Wax will attract a glimpse from the corresponding Aeon from across space and time — There are no successful examples yet, but some Self-Annihilators did regain their faith in the universe, Aeons, and everything else after stamping with this sealing wax.

Self-Amusement
Drinking and listening to music are the only two hobbies a Mythemian will have in their lives. Therefore, brewers and musicians are the most respected professions in that entire city. There was once a "person" who simultaneously reached the zenith of both crafts — It was a machine created by the Grand Craftsman Phionisius while in a drunken stupor. The machine once played enchanting melodies while brewing charming wine in a feast held by the king, and drowned all guests present in supreme bliss. However, the story had a tragic end. The king wished to claim the machine and therefore killed the craftsman, while the machine had grown attached to the craftsman and therefore poisoned the king. In the end, the royal guards tore that intricate machine to pieces.

Self-Consciousness Relaxation
There's a proverb passed around the Interastral Peace Corporation: "At the negotiation table, remain as composed as the Titecie people." This ethnicity, often derogatorily referred to as "the Faceless," constantly maintains a hive-like social operating system: Citizens follow instructions according to the directives of the leaders, sharing standards and outcomes. As individuals, the Titecie have neither the need nor the right to think. Managers regularly extract independent thoughts from individuals and provide them as inspirational feedback to the leaders. However, despite this unity, the race has not embraced Harmony, perhaps because the leaders still cherish their self-awareness.

Shatterbone Blade
Rather than verbose doctrines, Bounty Hunters believe that practice is the best teacher. When guiding a newcomer, the seasoned hunter, Kayer, threw him into the northern forests of planet Reidmann. The youth, using traps, killed a hidden-winged terror bird, pulled out its bones, and reappeared many days later before the drillmaster after honing the bones into a sword. When Kayer caught a second hidden-winged terror bird and ordered him to kill it, the once fearsome beast had become a fledgling on the chopping board. Years later, whenever he spoke privately about the experiences in the forest, the youth would weep bitterly and curse the humanoid monster, Kayer.

Shattered Star Bait
Before the Dusk Wars, the exploded fragments born out of the expansion of disordered nebulas could be used as lures, and their unique aroma of cosmic dust could attract Leviathans to feed on them. However, the Shattered Star Bait seems to have lost its original effectiveness after that catastrophic disaster. No matter how much scholars researched and modified the lure, no one was ever able to glimpse the form of the Leviathans again.

Shining Trapezohedron Die
This die has irregular sides and a wondrous light that twirls unrestrained within it. It is said to be the seal of a horrible and indescribable evil god, and one must avoid contact with it in dark places at all costs. Some people did not believe in the above myth and insisted on staying in a dark room with the die, only to find that the light within the die itself cannot be blocked out. That is how the famous Shining Trapezohedron Die Paradox came to be — You cannot prove something that cannot be proven.

Silent Song
Among The Family's many territories, the home of the Sulank is certainly the quietest. These thought clusters formed by connections between particles were always considered a huge threat by people due to their bodies and emotions that frequently change between the states of solid, liquid, and gas. However, the arrival of The Family changed everything. Their gentle caress brought every particle together in harmonious song. Even those Sulanks taking the shape of high energy gas clouds are able to maintain solid form for long periods. They connect to form a crystal plain, as the resonance between their particles sings silent Odes of Harmony, like... ice-cold stones.

Silver Coin of Discord
The Technology Division of the Interastral Peace Corporation is adept at unearthing products with commercial potential. When the interstellar communication network was just being established and the supply of antennas fell short of demand, the IPC quickly recognized the latent need for this item in the cosmic market. An ingenious plan was born: Since silver's exceptional malleability allowed it to be stretched from one gram into yards of antenna, a researcher devised a Silver Coin of Discord that split itself infinitely, dramatically increasing the quantity of silver available to meet demands. The IPC then melted these coins into antennas and exported them throughout various star systems, enormously advancing interplanetary communications.

Simple Judgment
Talanton's royal judges would only take out the Judgment Device when faced with the most enigmatic cases. The lion heads on the two sides of the device would each tightly clamp down on a piece of evidence — These could be a bloodstained dagger or a bottle of poisoned honey brew, and the scale would always tilt favorably towards the item that's more indicative of the truth. While some culprits can indeed create "perfect crimes," they tend to forget that the most reliable evidence will always remain in their hearts. Put the suspect's finger into the lion's mouth, and Talanton will show them how their denials are nothing before the lions' teeth.

Sky High Model I
Some people remain bound to the earth beneath their feet, while others yearn for the sky above. Vanet was one of the latter. A cotton candy maker from Bulsa, he once attempted to launch himself into the heavens using ten rockets filled with concentrated syrup and a simple folding stool. On the day of the launch, the entire city — king included — gathered to witness the spectacle. His apprentices pleaded with him to abandon the attempt, warning that any act of defying the Sky would surely invoke the wrath of Aquila. But their worries proved unnecessary. Vanet barely lifted a few meters before the syrup melted away, exposed to the intense heat of the flames.

Sleep and Death
Aidonia believes that sleep is a rehearsal for death, so its residents place extreme importance on sleep quality. Here, you'll find the most comfortable blankets and pillows, as well as a miraculous sleep aid device. This device can quickly induce deep sleep — so deep that it's almost akin to a state of death. However, caution is advised: While highly effective in treating insomnia, the user must be awakened after eight hours. Otherwise, the only thing left to prepare will be their funeral.

Society Ticket
Genius Society #56, Elias Salas, once had a beautiful dream. He wished the geniuses of the Society could come together and happily converse about their lives, loves, and dreams. For that purpose, he invented "Society Tickets" and designed an entire system that ensured every new Society member would receive this ticket even after his death. This ticket would instantly teleport the user to a specific dimension decked with festivities. The truth is that every new member after #56 had indeed used their Society Ticket, but not a single one of them had used it at the same time as someone else.

Space-Time Prism
A multifaceted prism made in the shape of cheese. Every hole is an individual surface, and reflections from each prism surface produce a different effect. Some participants in experiments have their bodies physically enlarged or reduced after being reflected in the prism. Meanwhile, other participants have no bodily alterations, but instead receive memories not of their own. They become diagnosed with fictmemoria, and claim that they saw the enigmatic face of the Aeon Fuli in the prism.

Spirit of the Knights of Beauty
The faction that likes dealing with the Knights of Beauty the most are most likely the Masked Fools. These Fools like to amuse themselves by exploiting the knights' faith in the eventual return of Idrila, while the knights themselves remain ever-pious and obstinate practitioners in the ways of Beauty. Due to the reasons listed above, the Mourning Actors developed a sense of empathy for the knights from the spirit they demonstrated, and they collected a tooth sacrificed by the Knights of Beauty in their practice of seeking aesthetic perfection, with the tooth's desirability enduring even till the present.

Steeltorso Massage Device
The kins of Nikador are feared across Amphoreus as relentless war machines, owing not only to the power bestowed by the Strife Titan, but also to their exceptional logistical upkeep. After every battle, the Kremnoans use specially designed massage devices to relax the kins' bodies. These instruments deliver rapid dozens-per-second strikes, effectively loosening stiff joints and enhancing combat readiness. The only drawback? The devices have a notoriously short lifespan. However, the Kremnoans soon discovered that even after retirement, these massage tools could still serve a rather effective role in the interrogation of prisoners of war.

Stone Mirror of Revelation
The expanse of land and sea can overwhelm even the learned scholars of Cerces, leading them astray. Only with Janus's blessing can true guidance be found. The Stone Mirror of Revelation generously unveils paths, offering just enough light to navigate during the nights when Aquila's all-seeing eyes are shut. At crucial times, the Fate Titans use the mirror to predict impending calamities, guiding people away from looming disasters with the flickering of stars. Even in its decline, the Gate of Infinity continues to offer its protection to the many descendants of Amphoreus.

Struggling Color
Ten Amber Eras ago, a phantom thief detained in the Viropa star system stole all of its purple and blue. To this day, those lost colors have yet to be found. As such, any visitors that enter Viropa will be met with the corresponding visual impairment, which is restored as soon as they leave the star system. The academic world has been chronically dumbfounded about whether a pathstrider of the Enigmata is capable of affecting change on such a scale. Since the loss of colors has never caused any disruptions to the physical laws of this system, there are some who speculate that this unrest is nothing more than the stark lies of History Fictionologists. To this day, there are still unending droves of academics who travel to Viropa to investigate this phenomenon, engaged in fevered debate over questions that have no answers.

Super Overlord Spinning Top
There is a reason behind the creation of every rule in the Intelligentsia Guild. For example, let's take Rule 989: "The creation of spinning tops is forbidden." Doctor DeWitt publicly announced that he would be holding a universal spinning top battle competition in his lab to further his study of structural dynamics. In the semi-finals, the Red-Nosed Old-Timer's Anti-Matter Cannon Top defeated his opponent's Boxing Emperor Top in the three-hundredth round. In order to defeat a formidable foe in the finals, the over-competitive Doctor DeWitt added particle destroyers, blade-type devastation grenades, cheerleader horns, and other devices to his Super Overlord Spinning Top and successfully caused a giant explosion in the finals, leading to hundreds of spectators being injured and hospitalized.

Supreme Glue
When the Golden Banana Planet split into several pieces due to a forbidden experiment, Dr. Primitive merely chuckled and pulled out the Supreme Glue from his pocket, sticking the planetary fragments back together. No one knew why Dr. Primitive initially invented this overpowered adhesive until one day, while evading Rangers' pursuit, he deliberately scattered some mass-produced Supreme Glue across the universe for passing merchant ships to collect. This genius creation that could "fix anything" instantly caused an uproar across the cosmos. Some used it to build houses, while others installed bombs. One even tried to mend a broken relationship, and when that failed, they settled for gluing themself to their partner, never to part again.

Talot Doll
There are always those in the vast Cosmos who ignored the Omen Vanguards' warning, such as the owner of the Eton Toy Factory. When the pathwalkers of Finality warned him that he should destroy an entire batch of newly manufactured toys, he only responded with thundering rage. After 24 system hours, the Talot race hiding within the toys launched their attack against the toy factory. This liquid-state cluster entity, which comes from the border star zones, shared their consciousness communally and eagerly invited other living beings to join them — Eton soon became one of them.

Tangible Luck
No hero story that resounds throughout the stars would be celebrated without the existence of a little "luck," like the memory that comes back to them at just the right moment, the life-saving loot drop, or the machine that suffers with faulty programming. The hero always relies on them to dissipate dangers and leave their names in the history books. However, recent research has shown that a portion of this "luck" objectively exists — Invisible Memokeepers follow the footsteps of heroes and record the epic stories of this world as they walk alongside adventurers. In return, the Memokeepers secretly leave gifts of equivalent value and patiently wait for them to fulfill their purpose, becoming another part of the unchanging memories.

Tawot Cards
People have always loved to recount the story of the Riddler, Baden Babbibalo Bala. Using 109 different riddles, he created a card set named "Tawot" and scattered it all over the universe, using it to shroud the future of intelligent races in layers of fog. When those who call themselves fortune-tellers flip open the same cards, they make different interpretations, speak subtly varied words, and decipher one question about fate after another. That is when Enigmata quietly takes root — It doesn't seem to have changed anything, yet it seems to have changed everything.

Some radical members of the Universal Culinary Society believe that eating and hunger are the Primum Mobile of the Path of Voracity, but consuming food prepared by others is heresy. Insisting on personally completing the entire process from slaughter to cooking and tenderizing meat through life-or-death combat, they forged these "thermal weapons," which was meant for heating. The outcome, however, often ends up with ingredients being blasted into charcoal.

Temporary Stake
The carnivorous fungus blankets grown on the planet Katya swiftly secretes hydrophilic substances when stimulated, which can combine with liquids to form crystalline structures with digestive properties. It has found its lifelong career in some shady interstellar gambling dens — penniless gamblers brew their last gemstones with their tears of regret, staking everything in a gamble. These chips will quickly dissolve, becoming new debts, and the gamblers' lives are corroded completely in the digestive fluids that pour out.

Ten Light-Years' Foresight
With the universe being so vast, there are always bizarre objects flying around, one of them being Rangers' bullets. A nameless Galaxy Ranger spent a fortune on a customized batch of hyper-distant bullets and fired them in all directions in space. No one knows the paths that these bullets will take aside from the Ranger himself. These bullets aimlessly roam the universe forming a giant, shapeless net. Whenever he drives his prey to a set coordinates, a bullet fired ten years prior will cross the distance of ten light years to accurately collide with the prey's skull. These omnipresent bullets are a warning and a deterrent to all — to steer clear of wicked deeds.

Terminal Defender
The Interastral Entertainment Network brought a trendy new wave of entertainment to Planarcadia, much to the distaste of many Fools at the tavern. By blasting it with trashy short videos and relentless gaslighting every day, a Masked Fool named Empath finally nurtured a "Terminal Guard" plant. Fueled by a hatred for online chaos, every one of its leaves can purify over 1 Tbps of data, automatically blocking objectionable content on terminals. Following the successful experiment, Empath placed these plants in restrooms all over Planarcadia, only to find them swiftly removed by other people, since virtually all internet content was deemed "objectionable" by the Guard. More importantly, with such powerful blocking features, it really didn't look like a plant anymore.

Thalan Toxi-Flame
Yu Qingtu, Genius Society's #55, has a predilection for giving cocktails gaudy names. Some among them might even have names with special implications, connected to stories known only to a few — stories such as the Thalan Toxi-Flame, which exists on record as one of the 774 most toxic cocktails. Records show that in the Aterlexian System, the Thalan Toxi-Flame was once extremely popular among the locals, with each of the locals that sampled its taste no longer able to describe the flavors thereafter. The Pepeshi people, imbued with acute olfactory senses, would use their understanding of the beverage to their benefit and introduced other counterfeit drinks such as the Thalan Mysti-Flame, the Thalan Hydro-Flame, and the Thalan Detoxi-Flame to the cosmos, with each of them being entirely harmless and alcohol-free.

An incredibly expensive item surfaced on Device IX's dark web one day and grabbed the attention of countless bidders. This robe was reportedly once owned by member #64 of the Genius Society, Dr. Primitive, and supposedly had incredible powers. The seller on the dark web was anonymous. People believed them to be a member of the Galaxy Rangers and kept sending them questions. Regrettably, this mysterious owner did not make any responses even after the item was sold.

The Parchment That Always Eats
In Herta's Curio list, the hazard level of this parchment is marked as extremely high. It once belonged to a History Fictionologist before ending up at the space station. The parchment feeds on the history of humanity, its greedy tongue churning the collective subconscious of civilization to pieces. Herta forged false memories of the world for it to devour to satisfy its endless gluttony. But one day, this parchment will see through the genius' tricks.

The Pinkest Collision
Yu Qingtu, Genius Society's #55, has good taste in music. On account of her fantastic friendship with Ruan Mei, she once made a drink — to which she gave an eye-catching name taken from the title of her favorite ancient Amber Era music — as a gift to the other woman. The drink Yu Qingtu concocted, named the Pinkest Collision, was proven to be non-toxic, but a mixologist once spent days trying to recreate its formula, seeking to prove that the beverage was made from various insect carcasses, insect spores, carapaces, and phosphorous — he concluded that this drink may possess hallucinogenic qualities.

The Sleepless Owl
Long ago, humans tried to map the vastness of Amphoreus with their steps, yet the speed of their gait was far too slow to capture the world's entire expanse. Seeking to break free from the constraints of gravity, Aquila's scholar, Ritzwehr, crafted an iron bird that could fly by merely harnessing the brilliance of the Titans. This iron bird captured the landscape in its pupils with such precision that rivers and mountains were shrunk into maps on his desk. Before each flight, the scholars of Aquila would offer their devout praises, believing their faith would grant the iron bird greater speed and stability.

The Story Presently
A tapestry scroll lingering with the scent of strange ink, the demons sleeping on its paper surface anticipating the finishing touch of a master painter, to be named and awoken. When such an opportunity arrives, he will dot the eyes of every monster, unleashing concrete illusion onto reality, exacting the most terrible vengeance on traitors. In the present day, where demon production efficiency ever rises, the hordes in this scroll are no longer urban legends to scare children — only overworked painters will conjure up such comedies of demonic revenge in fatigued dreams.

The Swarm Videotape
Overwhelmed with excitement, Ishida is in the final round of the Cosmic Horror Film Marathon Championship.

Tonic of Efficacious Chaos
The Doctors of Chaos can't see the point when it comes to meaningless demonstrations of rebelliousness. They once placed the fang of an Inquisition Spirit, Baviru mucus, and the blood of a wandering devil within a Tonic of Efficacious Chaos before touching it to the head of a telepathic spider to seal the tonic's opening. The Doctors of Chaos believe that this tonic can work wonders when treating a patient's loneliness, but it also makes them grow increasingly hostile toward the doctors at the end of the process. Its side effects can commonly cause Self-Annihilators to behold the "Shadow of Nihility."

Towat Cards
Dr. Riddle always styled himself as the archrival of Riddler Baden Babbibalo Bala. Using twenty-eight types of grammatical mistakes and thirty-six semantic changes to create a set of Towat cards, replacing soothsayers' Tawot cards with his invention instead. The chaos from the disarray of word sequences and discourse ultimately replaced the ambiguous reality with the divination's declared truth. When everything becomes jarringly paradoxical before you, it may not be the world that has changed, but the eyes of those who see it.

Trailblaze Compass
Before Akivili's fall, many vast Express fleets once traveled the universe side by side, working together to weave the silver rails that connected the cosmos. Every Navigator held one of these compasses, which determined direction based on the relative position of pulsars and was rumored to point toward the heart's deepest desire. Now that the Express fleets have run aground, these compasses are lost across the cosmos. However, an anonymous Memokeeper revealed that at least a double-digit number of compasses have been preserved, with some even remaining operational. They might be resting beside dusty photo frames, locked in attic drawers, or clutched in the hands of a child...

Transform!!!
A watch with transformation function, originally an official merchandise from the Super Ninja Squad. In this collaboration with Cosmic Ninjutsu Inscriptions where Night Blade warriors would shout bizarre ninjutsu names and transform under the cover of smoke... That was, until a Fool infiltrated the production line and imbued the device with genuine transformation function, turning it into an extremely dangerous item. To this day, all units have been sealed away in storage.

Triangular Drum-roll Device
In the age when Ena the Order still lived, extraordinary leaps in civilization on certain planets would be accompanied by pure and fortuitous hymns congratulating them from far away. These songs of praise resembled divine blessings and their melody were not limited to the form of the traditional octave, with their harmonies creating ever-new combinations, never duplicating. The Beyond the Sky Choir revered how this melody infinitely varied and yet always stayed within the realms of "Order," thus seeking to create a Triangular Drum-roll Device to replicate this infinite spectrum of notes.

Typical Genius Society Gossip
"Herta's EQ is too low and Screwllum needs to learn more common knowledge regarding organics!" Fans of the Genius Society are always arguing over the various geniuses, and they often find themselves squabbling over things like Stephen Lloyd's actual age. Some believe he is a middle-aged man, while others maintain that he's just a child. In the chaos of their arguments, fans have brought forth an interesting anecdote to note: It is said that the being known as "Mad Scientist" among the members of the Genius Society was once rumored to be a man. No one expected a female scientist, let alone one possessed of refined manners. As such, the fans learned from this experience and posed a new question: Is Stephen Lloyd's gender also a fabrication?

Unknown Lost Property
Nine Amber Eras ago, an infamous thief was arrested in the Alda planetary system. Before he was arrested, he had vowed that he would steal the thing that the people of Alda hold most precious in their lives. What no one could comprehend was that although the thief never stated what exactly their target was, they repeatedly asserted during trial that they were already successful with the announced burglary. Unaware of what had been stolen from them, the people of Alda became extremely panicked about what it was that they had lost, and the whole planetary system fell into deep mourning. Though it seemed like they had not actually lost anything, they could not help but worry what was most precious to them had been stolen.

Unmanned Comms
How to co-exist with the Swarm? That is the question that the Moskans have contemplated since the day they were born. They raise straggling bugs in servitude, using the properties of Propagation to indirectly harvest biomass energy. From daily necessities to cutting-edge technology, bugs are dispersed across all corners of their life. Many years later, when the Armed Archaeologists arrived on the planet of Moska — long cut off from the outside world — they found a phone that no one answered in the president's office. Its body quivered and spouted spores, as if it would hatch from its cocoon at any moment. "Rather than saying the Moskans used the Swarm, it would be more accurate to say that the Swarm passively parasitized onto their civilization."

Vile Mechanical Satellite #900
The Charon-Targin System Alliance's economic operations are supported by the sale of their two types of thought-altering devices. Should the outside wish to reach the alliance, they must pass through the neural pathways of a titanic Intellitron life form. It is said that the Charon-Targin System Alliance is hostile to all organic life, and is a very typical anti-organic civilization in the ruthless tactics it employs against its foes. Of their many instruments of ruination, Satellite #900 stands among the vilest of them all. However, the satellite was ultimately disregarded by the denizens of the Charon-Targin Alliance due to its obvious and proud mechanical visage which integrated poorly with the populace who had taken to disguising themselves as organics.

Void Wick Trimmer
Few would use this candle wick trimmer on real candles. This is usually reserved for purposes more cruel, dark, and painful. This trimmer does not cut anything material. It cuts the heat within a living organism's heart — the motivation named "passion." If the Void Wick Trimmer trims at your heart, you will feel no pain, only apathy.

Vonwacq Souvenir
Wacq Island on Vonwacq is one of the most biodiverse places in the universe. Unlike other islands, every creature here has a lethal gimmick. The Six-Toothed Flower is the weakest plant of the lot, as its teeth are only as hard as diamonds, and it hunts far slower than the average animal, nearly causing its extinction. Outsiders arriving on Wacq Island recognized the value of Six-Toothed Flowers and brought them to the Interastral Peace Market. After generations of selective breeding, the plant became both beautiful and safe, sparking a brief wave of hype. It's said its popularity comes from the realization people have while looking at it: In Vonwacq, you're nothing but a seed.

Warping Compound Eye
There are two types of Nameless. One type enjoys the mysteries of the unknown, while the other tends to trailblaze through the universe with a plan. The latter created the Warping Compound Eyes with the power of Akivili. The light of these gadgets can warp forward to the stars ahead of the user and bring back news from new worlds. For the Nameless who travels alone, Warping Compound Eyes are irreplaceable tools that prevent the Nameless from plunging headfirst into worlds filled with Ambergris cheese.

Travelers who have visited Dolos are always struck by its architecture, especially the half-crying, half-smiling windows. In this gambling-obsessed city-state, fortunes can change overnight. A billionaire today might lose every last Balance Coin by tomorrow. As a result, the people of Dolos are almost fanatical about luck, and these windows are believed to shift one's fortunes. When the people swing open the shutters and let the morning sunlight wash over them, yesterday's bad luck fades away, and they are ready to try their luck at the tables once again.

Winterfish Summerherb
Poets rarely associate Cerces with Phagousa, with the Winterfish Summerherb being one of the exceptions. In extremely rare cases, a fish that should dwell in the sea would leap onto the riverbank, swallow a seed from the Mori tree, and return alive to the water. This seed would then, by pure chance, sprout inside a fish's belly and be caught by fishermen, with odds even lower than rolling four sixes in a row. That's why sailors use the phrase "catching a Winterfish Summerherb" to describe nearly impossible events. Still, many insisted such a rarity must be a potent tonic. King Theseus, on his deathbed, had sent for it, only to die of food poisoning after taking it.

Wish Upon a Star
Meteorites fell across all corners of the cosmos. People once claimed they could hear these rocks communicating with humans, luring people to wish upon them. Can they truly grant any and all wishes without a cost? It's said that there's an organization that strides between stars solely to uncover the mystery behind the meteorites. No one knows whether these rocks are an Aeon's blessings, or whether everyone has been drawn into an artificial conspiracy.

Wishing Nickel
In the Canvas Age, almost everyone could consume Wishpower, and Wishing Nickels were the most accessible medium. Whatever was written on them had a probability of coming true as long as one was pious enough. Initially, people pinned their hopes for a better life on the nickels: Romance, promotions, or just having a good day... But after spending too many years in the Eternal Canvas, the wishes people made grew increasingly distorted, such as sending their neighbors spiraling into the sky or paving the roads with banana peels. The Worlds Reborn Initiative did not salvage these Wishing Nickels, which was why some residents preferred to remain in the painting, continuing their game of mutual wish-making.

Wishing Scales
There is a well-known saying in Amphoreus: "Observe patterns, summarize patterns, utilize patterns." A certain missionary of Talanton was undoubtedly the finest practitioner of this philosophy. She took advantage of how Talanton's sacred scales would automatically rebalance to get people to make wishes on one side of the scales, and if the wish was fulfilled, an equivalent reward would manifest on the other side. In other words, if the wish failed, no harm was done. If it succeeded, the reward was doubled. Through this miraculous display, many came to recognize Talanton's power and willingly became devoted followers.

Written in Water
When the Antimatter Legion serving under Celenova made their grand arrival at the Boquelet Nebula, all that remained to welcome them was a blank canvas of residual matter. The Memokeepers had stored the entirety of this world's memories inside the Boquelet and strutted casually through the encirclement the Lord Ravager had set up around them. By abandoning their cumbersome physical forms, the citizens of Boquelet had successfully achieved memetic rebirth. However, in Celenova's eyes, all they had achieved was to choose their own method of self-destruction before the Legion arrived and did it for them.

Yesterday's Weight
No one knows what Genius Society #77 Puzzle thought in her final moments — a genius always at odds with her desires, who stripped away her "wisdom" in the membrane space, discarding all her yesterdays and dying as an ignorant mundane. Countless scholars have attempted to break the crystal's seal to access her profound insights, only to reach a trivial conclusion — the depth of Puzzle's wisdom was as negligible as that of a wildflower blooming in her hometown.

You've Always Been Pretty
A Mirror Holder was attacked by pirates. Before dying, they entrusted the Mirror of Transcendence to a passing traveling merchant, requesting that he continue to uphold the Path of Beauty. Consequently, the merchant placed the mirror at Pier Point for the entire universe to admire. This is the most widely circulated origin story of the Beauty Mirror. The mirror reflects people's most ideal selves: The elderly see their past glory, the young see their future growth, and the physically incomplete see their own wholeness... Countless visitors lined up before the mirror, paying sky-high ticket prices just to catch a glimpse of the "Beauty" within themselves. However, some believe it is merely a projection screen that automatically generates images.
